The surgeon found that the diagnosis
of the case had been n correct one. The

that to attempt to remove the tumor

Henry Kresz Gives Directions as to

Cincinnati Enquters A funeral cor

Spring Grove cemetery. To the casual
observer it didn't differ from other grim
funeral professions that daily went their
way through the streets bearing dust to

The deceased was Henry Kresz, the
proprietor of large restaurant and sa-
loon, at Nos. 9S4 and9S6 Central avenue.
For the past four months Kresz, who was

complaining, but was still able to attend
to his daily business. From the symp-

LABOR ORGANIZATION,
Representatives From the Different
Trades Meet. d.


A joint meeting of representatives from
all laabor organizations was held last
night at Metz's hall for the purpose of
discussing the present labor situation of
the city. Owing to the lnclemency Of
the weather, however, there was not so
full and representative a meeting as an
ticipated. MIR. William Drum was called
to the chair and having explained the
objects for which the meeting had been
called together invited discussion.
w. j. Hunt, Of the painters union, was
sorry the meeting was not stronger and
more representative. The situation in
Omaha appeared to HIM to be that if the
laboring men did not get to work and
organize and assert their rights
as men: they must go to the
wall. 1t was necessary now
more than eyer for the men to insist
upon receiving fair compensation for
their labor, and to obtain this the differ
ent unions must work together. If they
did not look out for themselves the cap.
itslists with their ten, fifty and one hum
dred thousand dollars would never make
any move in their favor.
The chairman said that in all his ex-
perience he had never known a city
where organized labor was in such an
unsatisfactory state. There were several
labor organizations in Omaha, and these,
instead of working together for the com
mon good Of all, did all in their power
to crush and annlhilate each other. The
time had come when the Knights of
Labor, the Central Labor union and the
other trades organizations should go
hand in hand. The city at the present
time was overrun by scab painters, and
this was a state of affairs that would not
be allowed IN any other city where or
ganizcd labor existed. Scabs were paid
premium to stay in Omaha. A voice,
That's about the size of It, In Chicago
a union painter would not work with a
scab painter, and vice versa. The
card system should be put in
force to a greater extent. Unless
something was done to stir the men up to
action, organized labor would 60 down in
Omaha There was no salvation for the
unions Inlcss they formed into one solid,
compact body. An association had been
formed lately in the city for the purpose
of downing the painters, but they had
not done it yet and they never would.
A number of other speakers addressed
the meeting and expressed themselves in
favor of better organization. Before the
close of the meeting MIR. w. q. Holder,
who is engaged adjusting the painters
strike on behalf of the Knights of Labor,
stated that certain things had transpired
lately for which he was able to say that
in all probability the painters differences
would be settled satisfactory to the men
before the end of The week.

DAVIS AND THE FLAGS.
Another Letter by the Arch Traitor
On the Incident,

BALTIMORE. June 3O.--The Sun has long
letter from JEFF Davis, in reference to the re-
turn of the southern battle flags. He thinks
Its object now would be to unite the people
of the north and south. Every sign of the
past conflict should as far as practicable be
obliterated. To retain as a point of pride
the captured flags would be equivalent to re-
newed exultatlon. "Our men," says he,
fought for principle, and that they have
not surrendered, but rather hoplessly
lived to see the good sense of
northern men revert to the teach
ings of their sires, and reestablish
the government according to the constitution
on which it was founded. That is the only
victory which would be to them and their
children, a thing to be priced and gl0riied."
One element of value in the proposition to
return to both north and south the flags now
in the war department. Davis says, is that
the restoration would be a declaration such
as the old Romans made, that there should
be no triumph for victory won in civil
war. lie thinks the excitement over the
matter very much like tempest in teapot.
